Temporary truss supporting in place as part of the widening of the Checkered House Bridge in Richmond.
I don't know how kids can lose their shoes...I would notice if I was walking home barefoot in winter!
Angie had her spay surgery on Monday. There was no leaping, jumping, flying, rowdiness, racing, or roughhousing for a few days. Kong catch can be played while sitting. :)
Angie is doing great, almost back to normal now. Peggy Sue's appointment is on the 26th.
new graffiti along the freeway 99 soundwall in Sacramento
Can anyone help me identify the writing on the left?
Tee-One/OVR8D on the right, I presume.
An Ektar shot of Bonneville. On the rock you can see how high the water was after the rain, and how it has evaporated since.
This is what a finished loading track looks like. "Straight" and "level" are terms not often associated with these temporary installations laid directly on the peat. The ditch at left is the delineator between adjacent fields.
Janny had a temporary handicap placard due to her leg injury, so we were all set to use it on our visit to The Counter and Valley Fair. In both places, though, we were able to find non-handicapped parking super close to the entrance.
I realized something at the mall in particular, though. It seems a bit odd to have handicap spaces really close to the entrance, when the entrances are typically far away from anything. The percentage of walking Janny would have saved if we were only able to find a spot at the farthest end of the parking lot would have been quite small when compared with the amount of walking we did around the mall.
Aquatics Centre
for London 2012.
It forms part of the gateway to the Olympic Park – more than two-thirds of spectators will enter the Park at the south-east corner via a bridge that forms part of the venue’s roof.
The design and build
With a capacity of 17,500, the Aquatics Centre’s spectacular wave-like roof is 160m long and up to 80m wide – giving it a longer single span than Heathrow Terminal 5.
The venue features a 50m competition pool, a 25m competition diving pool, a 50m warm-up pool and a ‘dry’ warm-up area for divers. Construction on the venue began in July 2008 and was completed in July 2011.
The venue’s roof proved to be one of the most complex engineering challenges of the Olympic Park big build. Its skeletal structure rests on just two concrete supports at the northern end of the building and a supporting ‘wall’ at its southern end. This steel framework was initially constructed on temporary supports, before the entire 3,000-tonne structure was lifted up 1.3m in a single movement and successfully placed back down on to its permanent concrete supports.
Work began on the inside of the venue once the roof was in position. The three pools were dug out, lined, filled with water and tested, before they were fitted with more than 180,000 tiles.After the Games
The Aquatics Centre will be transformed into a facility for the local community, clubs and schools, as well as elite swimmers, attracting an anticipated 800,000 visitors a year. All the pools have moveable booms and floors to create different depths and pool sizes, so it can be used by swimmers of all abilities and experience. After the Games, the venue’s operator after the Games will be Greenwich Leisure Limited
The two temporary wings will be removed – reducing its capacity to 2,500 – although it will be possible to increase the venue capacity for major competitions.
The venue will also feature a creche, family-friendly changing facilities and a cafe, alongside a new public plaza in front of the building.
Just trying to figure out how I really want to use my dual monitor setup.
Windows 7 Beta 7000, Rainmeter, Rainlendar, Objectdock.
This is only a temporary image as I edited it on photobucket because I no longer have photoshop on my laptop (long story)
anyway photobuckets pretty rubbish to edit pictures in a subtle way but its to give an idea of the sort of look i'm going for.
Another vantage point of the contractor's temporary work bridge ramp, which will allow heavy equipment to come into the median, without interrupting traffic on I-85. Next to the bridge are the southbound lanes on I-85 north of Poplar Tent Road.
For a while last weekend the flood control structure in Creekside Park was in competition for the largest open body of water in El Cerrito. (City swim center not included.)
It was just puddles today but the pond may be back tomorrow.
For comparison:
Maybe you've seen it too. While it hasn't struck everybody yet, it does seem to be making the rounds: an inexplicable urge to purge the Flickr account or just really ruffle things up.
And I'm here to tell you, people: before you start hitting that delete key STEP AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER. This could all just be a natural state in the flickr lifecycle.
Examples: bigaldavies dumping hundreds of photos; hyperbob uncontacting all his contacts and quitting all his groups; birdw0rks becoming a whole nother person; emdot removing testamonials (what was i thinking??!!); and then the biggest transgressors of all: people who delete their accounts (johnnyb!). I don't know what happened to efatima. :(
While I don't know everybody's story, I wonder if we (maybe even just for a split second) get too overwhelmed by the imagery, the personalities, the relationships, the groups, and more more more to see see see?
Maybe it's a response to online exhaustion?
I dunno.
But it seems to go like this: react and then a week later go "why in the heck did I do that?" Then, rejoin, reupload, recontact.
So, save yourself the hassle: if it strikes you, this Temporary Flickr Madness, just scoot the chair away from the computer. And go do something else. For about a week. And then like magic in seven days your heart'll be singing that Flickrsong again and all will be good in the Flickrverse.
North Carolina Highway 12 (NC 12) is a state highway that traverses the northeastern coastline of North Carolina, linking the peninsulas and islands of the northern Outer Banks. Most sections of NC 12 are two lanes wide, and there are also two ferry routes which maintain continuity of the route as it traverses the Outer Banks region. NC 12 is part of the Outer Banks Scenic Byway one of the National Scenic Byways. The first NC 12 appeared on the 1924 North Carolina Official Map and at its height ran from NC 30 in Pollocksville to NC 48 near Murfreesboro. Overtime it was replaced by both US 258 and NC 58 and ceased to exist in 1958. The current NC 12 first appeared on the 1964 state highway map running from US 158 in Nags Head to Ocracoke. In 1976 NC 12 was extended to US 70 on the mainland and in 1987 was extended north to Corolla.
NC 12 was severed in two places by Hurricane Irene in late August 2011. The road was breached by two small inlets, about 200 feet (61 m) across apiece, in the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge, and north of Rodanthe. As a result, the only way to access Hatteras Island was by ferry. On October 10, 2011, a temporary bridge opened over the largest breach. The bridge, which is 662 feet (202 m) long, could be in place for more than 10 years while other solutions are thought out. As Hurricane Sandy battered the East Coast in October 2012, it has left portions of NC 12 inundated with salt water and sand. That forced the closure of the road, leaving the remaining people on the Outer Banks isolated from mainland North Carolina.
In late October 2012, Hurricane Sandy washed out or damaged a portion of the road at the S-curves north of Rodanthe on the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge. Emergency ferry service was established from Rodanthe to Stumpy point ferry terminals. As in 2011, the ferry service became the lifeline for Hatteras Island. Noreasters and storms repeatedly caused breaches since the road was repaired in December 2012. A state of emergency was declared and $20.8 million of emergency federal funding was secured to construct a more permanent repair.
